Their study, conducted on walkers taking part in the International Four Days Marches in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, shows that there are differences between healthy walkers and those suffering from diabetes.http://medicalxpress.com/news/2014-07-acetone-days-fat-burning.html

It's difficult to reduce drug use among street children without a good understanding of the problem, and up to now the research has been confined mainly to local studies with inconsistent results. Today, Addiction has published a systematic review of 50 studies of drug use among street children in 22 countries, shedding new light on the magnitude of the problem, the causes and health consequences of drug use among street children, and areas where new research is badly needed.http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-07-hidden-epidemic-street-children-high.html

The application of direct concern now is a device to detect diabetes without drawing a single drop of blood. Thanks to Anastasios Angelopoulos, associate professor in the School of Energy, Environmental, Biological, and Medical Engineering (SEEBME), and his team of colleagues and students at UC's College of Engineering and Applied Science, one day soon, diabetics will simply exhale into a small, hand-held device that detects and measures acetone in their breath. Acetone is proving itself to be a positive indicator of blood glucose levels.http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-08-real-optical-medical-biomarkers.html
